That's a great looking package. I've got gas money!

Come on down!  I dont take gas money from friends when I fish...id burn the gas anyways.

Hey congrats and best of luck on the new rig. I’m sure you and the family will enjoy it. Great Lake O boat.

Ended up winning the deal on the 23 proline xp.  Finalize the sale Monday.  Happy because the deadrise on the proline is appropriate to get out there.  The Ocean Scout is a modified v only 16 degrees and I was advised to avoid less than 20.

Very nice!

Pictures?

i'll try. can't get the pics to come up

Thanks guys.  Hope to enjoy it with a few of you.  My best friend has real nice scotties that we are going to add.  The sad thing is I cant find a 87" terrova anywhere.  The thought of being spot locked and jigging a ronz for one makes me pumped.

Congrats!  I'm in   

I'm also a convert to open water laker jigging after this past Saturday. We had tons of fish and lots of big ones too.

Got 2 last year on the fly.  Cutting them off at the pass is easier said than done.

A "trick" that has worked for me and Bonita is to get ahead (best guess) of them, cast in a good direction, and just let your line sink (I most often use intermediate for them), even if it goes vertical, then when they pass by, even if they are not breaking I start a fast strip in and often hook up... I also have hooked stripers that I did not know were there... Saves on the arms blind casting, but it keeps you in the game.

I personally never blind cast. I'll only take a couple casts after they sound but hold my fire till they come up again. what separates a 2 fish day from a double digit day is what allan said which Is reading their direction and patterning their movements

Absolutely agree.

[lowaccord66]

Im a huge blind caster...Ive caught many albies and bonita guys never made a cast for.  Days where youd think there were none around...no surface activity, no cues to pattern any movement....just a big open ocean.

Maiden trip complete.  To keep it interesting I chose to throw eels at nignt.  I learned to run the boat fast...the radar is amazing!  Missed 2 bass.
